If true that probation staff are to be selected for privattisation “out of a hat” it is as ludicrous and disgraceful as it is unsurprising.
“The hat” was the random selection mechanism of choice at the LSC for a quite a while. Perhaps they have begun to influence wider policy at the MoJ.
If it is not a shiny topper, set at a jaunty angle it is, of course, unlawful.

I suspect The Hat will be getting another unveiling for the Duty Provider Tenders….
Whilst on the subject, I always suspected that the LSC’s mysteriously-named ‘Audit Precision Tool’ for selecting CCA file samples was just, you’ve guessed it, The Hat.
The Hat would be a more rational and cost effective method that that proposed.
